Chapter 821

This Saturday is also an important day for Dr. Schneider. Tonight is the full moon of the Yellow Moon in March, so it can be the "Day of the Yellow Moon Shining", which is the day the doctor has scheduled for his promotion from the fifth ring to the sixth ring. Coincidentally, Dorothy suspended this week's course, so Xia De stayed at the doctor's clinic to help him carry out the promotion ritual.

Compared to Dorothy's need to connect the sublimation words for her promotion from the fourth ring to the fifth ring, Dr. Schneider's ritual for promotion from the fifth ring to the sixth ring seemed a bit simple.

In the attic of the doctor's clinic, when the moonlight of the Yellow Moon illuminated the circular ritual base painted with blood on the floor from the attic window, the three overlapping isosceles triangles in the circle emitted red, blue, and green light respectively. In the middle of those geometric patterns, demon runes and contemporary ritual runes appeared alternately.

There were no clouds tonight, and the moonlight shining in was quite stable. On the outer ring of the nested double-layer rings, the illuminated runes flickered with a faint light at a special frequency.

With Xia De's help, Dr. Schneider was hung upside down by one foot above the ritual flickering with light on the ground. His eyes were closed, and his wrists and ankles were each wearing three, five, seven, and nine silver bracelets.

When the time came to 7:23 in the evening, Xia De, who was wearing a black robe at the door, immediately shook the bell in his hand. In the humming sound that seemed to make the forehead resonate, Dr. Schneider bit the tip of his tongue, and at the same time, the life ring behind him appeared.

The confusing moonlight of the Yellow Moon passed through the life ring, making the shadow of the life ring coincide exactly with the nested double-layer rings on the ground. Strange black matter emerged from the upside-down doctor, wrapping him like a cocoon.

This is a sublimation ritual that the doctor combined with the ritual provided by the Academy and transformed through demon knowledge. And in that moonlight, Xia De clearly saw that when the black cocoon was completely closed, it was not Dr. Schneider inside the cocoon, but some kind of terrible and indescribable demon without a fixed shape.

The upside-down cocoon made the already cramped attic even more eerie. Xia De snapped his fingers, and the eleven white candles carved into the shape of worms surrounding the ritual base on the ground lit up one by one.

In the popping sound of burning, Xia De walked forward two steps quickly, lifted the front of his robe, took out thirteen short silver daggers one by one, and stabbed them into the black cocoon, forming a pattern similar to a constellation. These thirteen silver daggers are pure silver products, which the doctor spent a high price to ask someone to build. On the handle of each dagger, there are different red twisted demon runes. This red substance is not a ruby, but a 【Fake Philosopher's Stone】.

The 【Fake Philosopher's Stone】 that the doctor looked for for this ritual can be considered the cause of everything after the Outsider came to this world. And now, they have finally been put to use.

As the thirteen silver daggers were completely stabbed into the black giant cocoon, eerie darkness descended on the attic, leaving only the scarlet light at the end of the daggers floating in the air in the darkness.

Xia De counted nine times in his heart, and the moonlight and candlelight lit up again. And at this time, Dr. Schneider, who had landed, was standing in the blood-colored ritual on the ground, twisting his neck with a smile, and showing Xia De the life ring behind him.

He has successfully promoted to the sixth ring.

Xia De breathed a sigh of relief and dispelled the urge to take out the 【Moonlight Greatsword】. The doctor said in advance that his ritual might attract some troublesome things, including but not limited to evil spirits and evil spirits:

"This ritual of yours is even more evil than most evil cult rituals I have seen."

Xia De opened the gas lamp in the attic, and the warm yellow light dispelled the eerie atmosphere of the attic. Then he walked out of the room to get the 【Night Watcher】, shook it left and right in the attic, confirmed that there was no reaction, and pointed it at Dr. Schneider, which scared the doctor, but nothing happened (note), and only then did Xia De completely confirm that the ritual was successful.

The doctor replied with a smile:

"There is no other way. The demon is in my heart. If I want to promote, I must consider its power. However, tonight is really smooth. I heard you say that Lu Yisha encountered a mirror ghost during her promotion, and I thought I would encounter trouble this time too."

"If you also encountered trouble, then it's not your luck that is bad, it's my luck that is bad. After all, I was present both times."

Xia De was also happy for the doctor.

The two cleaned up the scene in the attic that would definitely be mistaken for an evil cult ritual. The doctor planned to go to a tavern in the city with Xia De for a drink. Xia De doesn't drink often, but to celebrate the doctor's promotion, it's fine to drink some tonight.

But before they could leave the clinic together, someone sent a letter to Xia De and specifically stated that it was a letter sent by Miss Cavendish.

"Which Miss Cavendish?"

Xia De asked instinctively while holding the letter. The doctor standing beside him looked at him with extreme surprise.

Then, Xia De sniffed the envelope:

"Oh, Lei Qianya's perfume, can't be wrong."

He thought in his heart, opened it, and found that it was Lei Qianya inviting Xia De to watch an opera at the Delarion King Opera House in the south of the city at 8:30 tonight. It was already close to eight o'clock. It is thought that Lei Qianya didn't find Xia De at Saint Theresa Square, and after asking Dorothy, she sent the letter here.

"Doctor, I'm afraid..."

Xia De looked at the blue-eyed middle-aged doctor apologetically, who was still wondering whether what he just heard was the surname "Cavendish".

"It's okay, go do your business."

He shook his head, looking at Xia De with surprise. Xia De went to ask, but the doctor refused to say anything:

"Young people nowadays are really amazing."

Hurriedly went home to change into formal wear, held the cat, and took a carriage to the opera house in the south of Tobesk. Fortunately, he was not late.

And when Xia De saw Lei Qianya in the box with the widest view on the top floor of the opera house that night, Princess Angelina, who was dressed up, was indeed following her. Seeing Xia De walking in panting, Lei Qianya let Xia De sit down quite enthusiastically, and before the opera started, mentioned the wedding of Lei Qianya's sister, Angelina's sister, Princess Mona Cavendish.

Lei Qianya had already mentioned this matter once on the rainy night last Saturday.

The wedding of a royal princess will naturally be quite lively. Not only Angelina, but even Lei Qianya is looking forward to the arrival of the wedding. The specific date of the wedding is the 18th or 19th of the Frost Month, and the location is the Peace Church in this city. Currently, the preliminary preparations are in full swing.

When discussing this topic, Lei Qianya sat upright, as if her relationship with Xia De was no different from the past. But after the contemporary famous romantic tragedy opera called "Murder at the Wedding" started, the red-haired princess suddenly stopped the topic, waved her hand behind her, and her personal maid took a group of servants from the side door of the room to another box next door.

Then, the princess sitting on the sofa looked at Xia De with a smile, pursing her lips:

"Knight, miss me?"

She reached out and hugged Xia De, smiled and touched the ruby earring on her ear, and then, without giving Xia De a chance to speak, kissed him.

"Again."

Sixteen-year-old Angelina Cavendish said in a low voice, but found that the actions of the two seemed a bit wrong.

"A week ago, that rainy night, you performed really well. I don't believe she hasn't looked for you this week. Really, knowing that I can't stay out overnight at will, but just won't agree to let me use her body temporarily."

Lei Qianya complained in a low voice, having already unbuttoned her skirt. Her face was flushed with excitement. She covered Xia De's mouth with her right hand, telling the young knight not to speak, then rubbed off the shoe on her left foot with her right foot, and kicked off the high heels on her right foot with her left foot wearing white suspender stockings.

With a wave of her hand, the light of the gas lamp in the box slowly became dim, and then she kissed Xia De again with bright eyes.

"Sister, you..."

Angelina saw that things were a bit wrong and immediately spoke to stop it.

"Oh, Angelina, are you still here?"

Lei Qianya let go of Xia De, who was panting heavily after a deep kiss, raised both hands, reached behind her head, tied her long red hair with her belt, pushed Xia De down gently, and said to her sister:

"Take Xia De's cat and go out from the side door to watch the door for us. I cast a silence spell, don't worry about strange sounds."

The little princess covered her mouth in disbelief:

"Sister, you really... but Xia De is Great Aunt Miss Jia Lin Na's... you are sharing one..."

"My dear Angelina, there is still an hour and a half before the opera ends. Excluding cleaning up and tidying up makeup, I actually don't have much time. Now, either get up and lock the door from the inside and watch us here; or go out from the side door and send a servant to watch the door for us."

Lei Qianya is quite strict with her sister:

"Don't waste my time."

"But..."

The dressed-up princess picked up the reluctant Mia, stood up pitifully in the dim light of the room, and somewhat understood why incense was lit in the box in advance today.

She bit her lip, watching Xia De, who was a little "helpless", being pressed onto the sofa by her strong sister. For a moment, the sourness of the girl's ignorant feelings burst out, which actually made her want to cry.

"Knight Hamilton..."

She wanted to help the handsome and weak knight, but the psychological shadow that her sister Lei Qianya had caused her over the years made Angelina just clench her fists, hold Mia with one hand in frustration, carry the midnight snack prepared for Mia, and walk toward the door on the side wall.

"Close the door tight."

When Angelina reached the door, Lei Qianya didn't forget to remind her, but her voice was a bit muffled. Angelina pursed her lips, wanting to scold Lei Qianya for ruining the family's reputation like this, but the words turned into:

"Do you need me to prepare a midnight snack for you?"

She didn't get an answer because the lights in the box went out completely. Angelina stood in the darkness, listening to the loud singing outside praising the green love of young girls, listening to the joy expressed in the singing.

After a long time, she left with Mia.

As for the cat she was holding, it seemed to understand the young girl's feelings and shrank into her arms quite obediently, but actually didn't want to leave either.
